## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) AT 2136 05/16/02 A B-767-39H OWNED AND OPERATED BY AIR2000 (A U.K. AIRLINE) UNDER FAR 129 OPERATING REQUIREMENTS, HAD THE #5 POSITION TIRE RECAP COME OFF THE CASING, ON TAKE OFF OUT OF THE SANFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. PASSENGERS REPORTED "SEEING A PIECE OF THE WING COME OFF" ON CLIMB OUT. THE FIRST OFFICER DID CHECK THE LEFT WING IMMEDIATELY AFTER NOTIFICATION AND SAW THE #5 AND 6 SPEED BRAKE/SPOILER PANELS WERE DAMAGED AND A PORTION FO THE PANELS WERE IN FACT MISSING FROM BEING SHATTERED BY TIRE FRAGMENTS IMPACT. THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, DUMPED FUEL AND RETURNED OVER WEIGHT UNEVENTFULLY TO SANFORD. I ARRIVE ON SCENE TO INVESTIGATE AND DID SEE THE DAMAGED PANELS AS WESS AS THE INBOARD FLAP SEGMENT DENTED IN TWO PLACES, EVIDENCE OF TIRE IMPACT ON THE INBOARD FLAP TORQUE TUBE, AND THE SUPPORT BULKHEAD FOR THE INBOARD SPOILERS. THE PANELS WERE REPLACED, ALL IMPACTED AREAS WERE "NDT"ED WITH NO NEGATIVE REPORTS, AND THE OPERATOR HAD RECEIVED RELIEF FOR THE FLAP DENTS FROM BOEING (TO BE REPLACED WITHIN 90 DAYS PROVIDED NO FURTHER DAMAGE IS ASSESSED ON THE REQUIRED 7 DAY REINSPECTION REQUIREMENT, PLACED ON THE OPERATOR BY BOEING). THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
